CLEH 2025:
CAPITALISM AND AFRICAN HISTORY

Gareth Austin, King's College, Cambridge


This year, the compact course will explore the economic development of Sub-Saharan Africa in the long term. It does so from the perspective of a long-debated question: has Africa had too little, too much, or the wrong sort of capitalism?
Individual lectures and seminars will elaborate the following issues:
1. The economic history of Africa from 1450 to the present
2. Slavery and the Market
3. Colonialism and Capitalism in Africa
4. Capitalism in Independent Africa
